Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
I observed it last night from French Island. First spotted it in the 7x42s circa 9:10pm AEDT. But became easy naked eye soon after until 9:30-9:40pm. Best views were in the 15x70s that clearly showed the nucleus being surrounded by a thin layer being pushed back into the tail. Just beautiful!
Time for me to read about terminology and what to look for
Ps: I tried the c5 and the extra magnification didn’t handle the atmospheric disruption. I’ll try smaller scopes tonight.
